In the series of books I have written about Maddy and her love for Jesus, I had in mind how can I share my faith with my own children and grandkids. Maddy will be telling the story of a little girl who is finding out that the bible is more than just a book, and Jesus is not make-believe but real. As she discovers him every day in her life, not only in her good days but also in her very bad days, she finds him to be her real strength. I wanted to write books that would speak to our children's hearts and remind them that even though they are young, Jesus is reaching out to them. We know we also have an enemy who is trying to reach out to our children, so to fill their minds with the truth of God's word is our only hope we have when they are faced with him in real life. I love the bible stories about Noah and the ark, David and Goliath, Joshua and the walls of Jericho. But I think a better story is when our own children tell us what God is doing in their lives.
